I don't see what isapnp.conf has to do with configuring a PCMCIA card? 
At any rate, go here 
http://pcmcia-cs.sourceforge.net/ftp/SUPPORTED.CARDS and verify exactly 
which module(s) you need to support that card, since you failed to 
provide the model# for the card.  According to that page _NO_ xircom 
cards need or use serial_cs for anything.   Also, please post the 
relevant output from dmesg where your'e seeing an error.

I've also heard quite a few reports of PCMCIA being badly broken in 
Caldera releases (and apparently the recent SCO linux release), so that 
could be part of the problem as well.

I own a Xircom NIC/modem combo card, and it works flawlessly under Redhat.
